ABOUT THE SITE
This site has been developed in partial fulfillment of the requirements for the English course, Composing New Media. This particular site is the Final New Media Project, which is the creation of a well-developed, persuasive new media composition that contributes to our discourse community.
The blog was created as an assignment for the English course mentioned above (Composing New Media), whereby the audience was a specific discourse community of choice. Due to the kairos of the rise in popularity of food and health combined with my love of food and cooking, the discourse community of my choice was foodies. The blog analyzes the rhetoric within this community, and a theme of the necessity for "responsibly-researched readers" has emerged.
